4/1, first run since leaving Harry Eustace when a good second of 8 in maiden at this C&D 30 days ago. Well in the mix in his attempt to get off the mark.

5/2

Ended a losing run with more positive tactics re-employed in 13-runner handicap here (7f) 28 days ago. Up 6 lb but not taken lightly in his current mood.

11/2

A 3-time C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2025. Creditable third of 8 in claimer over C&D 14 days ago. Enters calculations once more.

Sovereign Banter^b,t³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 55| CD

4/1

Got off the mark over C&D in October. Raced close to strong pace when eighth of 14 in handicap over C&D 30 days ago. Remains a likely player off a handy-looking mark.

Form: 1722-38

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: J C McConnell| OR: 54

28/1

80/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D. Off 100 days. Visor back on but others are more persuasive.

28/1

Unreliable sort who came in a below-form eighth of 13 in maiden claimer over C&D 168 days ago. Needs to get back on track after a break.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Wayne Hassett⁽³⁾| T: N Slevin| OR: 40

66/1

Queen Leila^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Shane Kelly| T: N C Kelly| OR: 54

7/1

Good second over 7f here in January and not seen to best effect when seventh of 13 in another 7f handicap here 14 days ago, left with lot to do. Merits consideration.

Form: 5597-27

Rattletheonionbag^p³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Chris Hayes| T: W P Browne| OR: 40

8/1

Remains a maiden after 28 runs but he posted a solid third of 14 in handicap over C&D 30 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Place prospects again.

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in nursery at this course (8f, 25/1) 100 days ago. Back down in trip. Others are preferred.

100/1

Has cut little ice in her three runs to date, eighth of 12 in maiden over C&D 14 days ago. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark major improvement.

Forecasts

Jazzy Dancer (5/2), Jazzit (7/2), Sovereign Banter (4/1), Hero Of The Hour (11/2), Queen Leila (7/1), Rattletheonionbag (8/1), Keskon (25/1), Heart Of Eternity (25/1), Cosmic Force (28/1), Skillman Ave (28/1), Lady Landhort (33/1), Hi George (66/1), Double Clutching (100/1)

SOVEREIGN BANTER wasn't seen to best effect when eighth over C&D last time and he is fancied to capitalise on a lenient mark to bag a second C&D success. Queen Leila also didn't enjoy the rub of the green when seventh here last time and is next on the list ahead of recent course scorer Jazzy Dancer. Rattletheonionbag and Jazzit complete the shortlist.
